396 - Delivery Fee as Tax Support

396 - Delivery Fee as Tax Support

Version: 5.1
Patch: 396
Title: Delivery Fee as Tax Support
Application Category: Other, Order Entry, Continuity
Patch Type: Feature


Description:

Added new feature to evaluate delivery fees as a tax. This is implemented as a new tax category that can be associated with products. The built-in tax calculator (as well as third-party tax integrations) can use
a tax category to calculate additional taxes that may be required for a specific region. These fee items
typically will appear on the order an additional zero priced item with a tax. 

Enhanced continuity/autoship processing to be capable of adding additional items to each auto-generated order. This is primarily intended to be used with Fee offers but can be used for any type of offer. Offers that are tagged as a delivery fee but calculate to zero will automatically be left off of the auto generated orders. 

Finally, a new script rule condition type can be used to check if a fee offer has been created. This can be attached to scripts to enforce that fees are added (based on whatever "IF" conditions for the rule have been defined)

Note: There is a new supplemental tax table with delivery fee specific taxes. The patch pre-populates that table with delivery fees for the state of Colorado, but additional data can be added by a future update if other states have similar requirements.
